WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:03.240
So I'm kind of in the middle
of a sneezing fit, which is not

2
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:11.839
opportune for the podcast. So we
were going to start this about sixty seconds

3
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.759
ago, and then the sneezing started, and Dave it is just like he

4
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.000
can't do just one. I'm one
of those people that usually I just do

5
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.800
one and then I'm done. Dave
has about ten in the row. At

6
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:27.640
a minimum, it's I would say, it's usually like four. This is

7
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.640
You're probably on like ten right now, though, oh at least yeah.

8
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.200
And the bad thing is is it
makes me hoarse because I can't stop,

9
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:39.359
and I try to blow my nose
and here we go, let it out.

10
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:41.479
Okay, well, now do you
look up at the light or the

11
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:44.840
sun? Went to help? Because
that's what I do to get it out

12
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.719
sometimes sometimes. Okay, Jenny,
you're ready, I'm ready. If you're

13
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.000
ready, I'm ready. I'll try
to get started on the Minnesota Goodbye.

14
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.359
Here we go, Bailey says Dave. I'm writing to you because I'm looking

15
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.719
for some career advice in the radio
podcasting industry. I'm twenty five. Went

16
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.519
school at a four year college in
the Cities and graduated a few years ago.

17
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.120
Currently working a corporate job in the
Cities. When I was in college,

18
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:11.959
I did a show on the school's
radio station, which wasn't about anything

19
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.319
particular, more so me into others
talking about current events. But I really

20
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.319
enjoyed being on the radio cool.
I've always been intrigued by the thought of

21
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.920
having a real life talk radio show
or podcast since I was young. I

22
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.519
envisioned my show more news current events, given my spin with possible guests.

23
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.200
People have told me I have a
great radio voice, and I've been wanting

24
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.519
to record some demo shows, but
I'm a bit at a crossroads with formatting

25
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.799
the show and going through with it. Do you have any advice for getting

26
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.640
into the radio business with the goal
of possibly having my own show one day,

27
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:47.239
or if anyone's starting my own podcast
at home or anything starting my own

28
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:52.400
podcast at home and launching online?
Are there many opportunities at radio stations if

29
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.079
I were to start out of the
role of an on air talent and work

30
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.200
my way over to being able to
prove myself on the air. Thanks Dave.

31
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.799
That is from Bailey Bailey. First
of all, love that name.

32
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.840
People used to ask me all the
time, how do I get into radio?

33
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.599
I don't know anymore. I truly
don't, and I'm not trying to

34
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.000
be facetious or funny. It used
to be like, well, get an

35
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.800
internship or go to Brown College and
then apply to a radio station. Well

36
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.719
there's no more internships, there's no
more Brown College. They used to have

37
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:30.400
a broadcasting class, and there is
no more money. So here at iHeart,

38
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.400
I don't know how to get into
radio. Do you have anything to

39
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.000
tell Bailey on how to get into
radio in twenty twenty three, I would

40
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.759
say if she does start a podcast, that's a good start to show you

41
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.039
have some kind of audio production experience. You're willing to get your voice out

42
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.879
there. Just know that if you're
brand new starting it's probably going to sound

43
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.400
completely different when you do day one
versus day fifty or episode fifty, which

44
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.639
is good because that shows your growth. But honestly, the main thing I

45
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:06.520
tell a lot of people now is
to do social media, because that is

46
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.759
huge. If you can show that
your social media savvy and you have kind

47
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:15.159
of a presence and sort of like
a brand quote unquote, but basically just

48
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.439
be you. You don't want to
not be yourself because that's important in radio.

49
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.800
You need to be able to be
yourself. If you can show that

50
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.599
through social media, that is a
huge factor now when it comes to people

51
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.120
hiring in radio. I think that's
really true because social media is kind of

52
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.159
on a par with radio in a
lot of ways. I mean, kids

53
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.120
go home and whereas they used to
sit in their room and do their homework

54
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.800
while listening to Katie WB now they'll
go in the room and they'll play on

55
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:47.280
social media and not listen to the
radio. But they're a great companion for

56
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.960
each other. So that's a really
good piece of advice. I would say,

57
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.039
go ahead, Bailey, start a
podcast, but don't be surprised when

58
00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.080
your podcast only gets nineteen listens a
week. There's so many people, and

59
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.879
I don't know what the secret is. I think maybe if you combine your

60
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:11.319
podcast with some really great social media
you might get some traction. I'll give

61
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.479
you an example of the two girls
that we know, Sit and Soaf and

62
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.160
they do Straight Candid. I don't
know how they got their start, but

63
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:23.360
they do a great podcast and they
also are really good at social media.

64
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.879
I don't know if they do it
all by themselves or they up the people

65
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.920
that they partner with behind the scenes. I think they work with a company,

66
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.720
but if you look up straight Candid
podcast on Instagram, you'll see that

67
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:40.959
they are really good at combining really
good social media and a great podcast,

68
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.120
and they're very real. I do
know sit and so personally. Actually I

69
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.240
knew them before even knowing of their
podcasts, and they're just like very down

70
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.680
to earth girls who are very real
on their podcasts, hence why it's called

71
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.800
straight candid. They're very candid about
their lives and then they also have some

72
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.279
fun guests on there. But they're
definitely a great example. They used to

73
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.720
have a videographer that did production for
them. I don't know if they still

74
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.480
do. Yeah, I don't really
follow them as much anymore. Yeah,

75
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.399
I'm not sure exactly how they do
everything, but they're like they're on the

76
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.439
side of a very well produced podcast
that's going to take a long time to

77
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.279
get there if you don't have the
means to hire someone. Oh yeah,

78
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.879
So don't be intimidated and think you
need to do what they do right away,

79
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:25.600
because they have a very highly produced
and high like tons of videos and

80
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.399
stuff like that that go into their
podcast. I would say also be unique

81
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:33.319
because there are a million in one
podcasts out there and if you can find

82
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.000
a unique angle, I don't know
what that would be or I would use

83
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.199
it myself, but try to be
unique. Next one, Kirsten says,

84
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.399
I heard Dave talking about the number
of apartment apartments being built nationwide. There

85
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.279
is a housing crisis. There are
too many people looking or in need of

86
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:55.519
a home, then there are homes. Minneapolis is building a ton to combat

87
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.240
this problem. My issue with it
is eventually you age out of an apartment,

88
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:01.360
once you get into your thirties and
forties, you want to purchase a

89
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.079
home, condo, something you have
as your own. Enjoy the show.

90
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.560
That is from Kirshten. This came
up on the show a couple of days

91
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:14.959
ago because I said, there are
almost no houses on the market right now.

92
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.319
The inventory of houses is so low, like the lowest it's been in

93
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:24.680
years. Why And I started to
speculate, is it because rich people are

94
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:30.360
buying up homes to rent out as
an airbnb or as an investment property.

95
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.800
I know of a home on Lake
Minnetonka. Somebody bought it for two point

96
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.759
one million dollars in June. It's
already on the market for two point six

97
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.800
so these people are turning a quick
profit of a half a million dollars in

98
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.959
just June, July, August,
September, three months. And it's like,

99
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.160
Okay, I'm all for rich people
playing fair, but when rich people

100
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.519
buy up houses as investment properties,
so nobody can afford to buy a house,

101
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:02.720
and then you have to build apartments
because there are apartments everywhere everywhere,

102
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:09.560
they're building up more apartments. So
I don't know. So here's another email

103
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:15.720
about apartments. This one says they
buy properties and overcharge the rich buy eventually

104
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.639
own everything and then it's all the
one percent and the government. It's a

105
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.040
thing in third world countries. Look
it up, Naomi. I'm not going

106
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.639
to look it up. I will
take your word for it. But yeah,

107
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.079
I think that you know, listen, I'm all for people getting rich,

108
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.160
but I don't think that rich people
should be able to buy up all

109
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:38.800
the homes and turn them into investment
properties and airbnbs. I think that there's

110
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:43.240
a lot. So the Bigger Pockets
podcast is all I mean, it's about

111
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.759
a lot of different financial stuff,
but it's all about investment properties. So

112
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:51.839
Andrews had kids who are twenty twenty
one years old, he helps them buy

113
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:58.000
their first property with like very minimal
amount done down because all these people do

114
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.600
have access to knowledge that you weren't
able to gain twenty years ago. Because

115
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:07.040
of podcasting and TikTok or stuff like
that, you can learn so much if

116
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.079
you really dive into that stuff.
So I do believe, yes, that

117
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.160
there are a lot of rich people
buying up properties and investment properties have become

118
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.360
bigger and bigger over the years.
But I also think that there's a lot

119
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.079
of younger kids who are learning things
from TikTok and podcasting and are doing it

120
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.439
themselves. I mean, that's great. I'm glad that people know how to

121
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.399
do it. I didn't buy my
first house till I was thirty almost thirty

122
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.839
one years old, and I wish
I had started earlier. Susan and I

123
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.360
were talking about how we've gotten screwed
on every of the house that I live

124
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.279
in now. I lived there for
twenty years, twenty years almost exactly.

125
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.960
It has gone up by a few
thousand dollars in that time. Whereas you

126
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.440
hear about somebody who I bought a
town house in twenty sixteen for three hundred

127
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.279
and fifty thousand, and now it's
worth six hundred thousand. Fuck you,

128
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.200
good for you, But I have
not experienced that. We bought the house

129
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.960
that I bought in Plymouth, I
bought for one eighty five and I sold

130
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.799
it for like one eighty five after
three or four years of living there.

131
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.240
I bought it too high. I
didn't know that you don't pay asking price.

132
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.960
Now you have to pay asking price. So that was one. I

133
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.279
bought a town home in Chanhassan for
maybe three hundred, sold it for like

134
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.159
three oh five a few years later. And then this one, Like I

135
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.559
said, it's gone up maybe ten
thousand dollars in twenty years. But I

136
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:28.559
hear other people, but you know
about this. People will buy a house

137
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:33.480
for like one hundred and eighty thousand
dollars fifteen years ago and now it's worth

138
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.960
four hundred thousand. Well, I
think you're getting what your house is worth

139
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.159
in terms of like an appreciation cost. But like in the end, if

140
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.559
you put your house on the market, you're going to get multiple offers.

141
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.720
I think that you really will,
and so it should you should come out

142
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:52.320
a little bit more ahead than just
like ten thousand dollars, I hope.

143
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.320
So right now we don't even want
We're just so disgusted with the whole housing

144
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.679
market that I Susan's like, let's
look at houses, look at houses,

145
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.639
and I'm like, I don't want
to. I'm just so disgusted with you.

146
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.039
Either find a house that's beautiful but
too expensive, or a house that's

147
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:13.240
just freaking weird. We've looked at
houses. One of them had a beauty

148
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:18.440
salon sink in one of the bedrooms, so it's like the person who worked

149
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.879
there did hair, and upstairs,
in a very brightly colored room was a

150
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.159
beauty salon sink that kind of you
tilt your head back into. I'm like,

151
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.840
this is somebody's dream house, but
it ain't my dream house, all

152
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:35.080
right. Next one, Naomi says, we were talking about putting dog poop

153
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.679
in your neighbor's trash can. Yeah. My argument is I wash out my

154
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:45.279
trash can because it has to be
in my garage. Per association. Dog

155
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.080
pooh still stinks even through plastic bags. Also, it can fall at the

156
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.120
bottom and get poked. I don't
want my dog. I don't want dogs

157
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.000
stink in my garage. Period.
If it's not yours and you don't have

158
00:10:54.080 --> 00:11:01.120
permission, do not throw your dog
shit in my trash can o he next

159
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.960
one, Courtney says, I love
you guys. I live in Florida.

160
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.960
I used to listen to the Cane
Show with in turn John, who mentioned

161
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.879
you guys and got me listening.
I miss Vallen. I messaged Jenny that

162
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.320
she is more than killing it it. Drake is only twenty two but brings

163
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.240
such relatable content for many ages and
is always Dave, you ruined the entire

164
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.720
show. Ha ha, not at
all. That was funny. You guys

165
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.879
make my task for the days seem
attainable. You are my coffee. Thank

166
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:33.039
you for what you do. Fifth
grade teacher C. J. Warner did

167
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.840
the math problem from Friday at a
red light and got it right. Nice

168
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.679
good job. That was the one
where Jenny and I and Drake all looked

169
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.519
at each other like, are you
kidding me? To be fair, I

170
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.879
did get it right, I just
went a couple steps too far. I

171
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.879
had. Andrew listened to it that
night and tried it himself, and he

172
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.960
did not like math at all growing
up, and so he gave it like

173
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.399
two seconds and the Finn He's like, I'm not doing it, and he

174
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.519
just gave frustrated. He's like,
I was not trying to break by getting

175
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.039
it right. It was just that
math was the strong subject for me in

176
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.600
school. And so it's but if
you would have given me a science question,

177
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:16.879
I would have failed. I would
have failed. Andrew would have failed

178
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:18.519
a science No, Andrew would have
failed that math. At math, he

179
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:24.320
specifically picked his college degree because it
did not involve having a math creduct.

180
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.559
That's how much he hated math.
Okay, gotcha. I didn't hate math.

181
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.480
I just was not good at it, So all right. Next one,

182
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.320
Kim writes in I got a kick
out of the mystery box bit.

183
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.480
That was where we had a box
about the size of a large shoe box

184
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.279
with something inside. We had to
reach inside, not being able to see

185
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.080
it and try to touch it.
So Drake put things inside the box and

186
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.720
we would guess and reach in and
try to touch it. Jenny was hilarious

187
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:56.200
anyway, all the road kill and
raccoon talk made me want to share the

188
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.679
story. Our family had a Christmas
game where you had to write down your

189
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.559
all Christmas gift initials and then you
drew out of a hat and we're supposed

190
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:11.120
to buy or make a gag gift
with that person's dream gift initials either my

191
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.360
husband or ies were our nephew's name
out and his initials were d RT.

192
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.799
Well, we thought of dead raccoon
tail and we drove around with the scissors

193
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.840
in our van. It was the
nineties and vans were a thing until we

194
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.440
saw a dead raccoon. Oh my
god, my husband pulls over and cuts

195
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.879
off the tail. Oh god.
I put it at my feet on the

196
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.639
floor. The heat was on and
it smelled so bad. When we got

197
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.000
home, we kept it in the
garage until it was time to wrap it.

198
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.679
Before I did, I sprayed it
with fabrize. It was definitely the

199
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.720
best gift of the night, although
they were all pretty good. Good memories.

200
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:52.000
Thanks for the laughs. Oh,
I almost forgot his initials were for

201
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:58.799
What he really wanted was dad's red
truck tail. Yeah. I would assume

202
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:05.399
that's probably not what he was shooting
for. That is very funny. This

203
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:11.279
one is I'm saying they hello,
Hello, alexis here long shot. A

204
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.879
couple of years ago, there was
a kat WB shirt sold at the fair

205
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.720
that was a Stranger Thing shirt,
but it said Minnesota Things. I bought

206
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.200
one's probably my favorite shirt ever.
I had not even watched Stranger Things yet,

207
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.759
but I still knew what it was
and I love the shirt. Now.

208
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.120
I'm a huge Stranger Things fan,
and I moved to Arizona. Love

209
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.679
your Morning show, miss Minnesota terribly
and my shirt is becoming worn. Is

210
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.879
there any way to find and purchase
another one of these shirts? Unfortunately,

211
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:41.799
no, they're all gone. I
believe though that if you want to buy

212
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.039
a current Katie WB shirt, they're
online, aren't they, Jenny there?

213
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.480
Are they are right now? Yes, we probably will only have them online

214
00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.759
for the next couple of weeks,
so I would say, hop online right

215
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.519
now at katwb dot com. Okay, and that's it from the Minnesota Goodbye.

216

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.679
or something you want to rebring up, or a complaint or a common observation.

219
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.519
Always love hearing from you. You're
